and george bush lost re-election. since then the party's been committed to never compromising on the tax issue, no matter the deficit. no congressional republican has voted for an increase in taxes since 1990. think about it. for nearly a quarter of a century, no new income taxes. in the current congress, 236 house republicans vowed never to raise taxes. 40 gop senators also kept that pledge. even president george w. bush, the man who got us into two wars we didn't pay for. the president who exploded our deficit. he insisted the solution to our problems were more tax cuts. president clinton handed him a $236 billion surplus. a surplus. and left office with a $1.2 trillion deficit. but he just had to keep those tax cuts coming, but something remarkable may be happening in our politics. we're on the verge of something big. after decades of silliness, this lock-step republican fantasy that has hurt our country, president obama is close to breaking the gop tax unity. >> unfortunately, the speaker's proposal right now is s

having enough female elected. i think the council says we rank 80th globally. but here's the deal, when you look at the local, the state, and the federal levels and put them all together, republicans stack up really well. and four of the five female governors, they are republican women and you've got to take that entire thing. i think a lot of our women have a tendency to be in those local offices with those county commissions and those city commissions and serving them those school boards. and my hope is that we can get them to run for office at the federal level also. >> well, do you think that there is a perception out there that there's not an opportunity for them to move ahead? when i talk to women who try to recruit other women to run for congress, to run for higher position, the concern is that they won't have a significant place at the table. >> well, i think that that's always a concern. but you know, one of the things that i have found is that, number one, you don't have to be entitled in order to lead.
